I caught some side eye from this big guy! He probably weighs in at around 1,000 pounds and stands 5'-6' high at the shoulder, making me extra grateful to be able to shoot so long these days with my newest lens. I am aching to get back to my heart place, but I imagine I have several months left to suck it up and live in memories before I can get there. ~ My Wyoming Love Affair

Is anybody else working, or at least online today?! With no family within several states, and with school-age children, it's never realistic for me to spend Thanksgiving with other loved ones, so my household has made our own tradition. This year, "all" the roads are closed due to weather, preventing that tradition or any similar one from happening, which is terribly disappointing. I guess I'll be here all week. Anybody want a BLIZZARD SESSION?
We couldn't deny that this guy is becoming an actual young man even if we wanted to! I don't think he has changed as much as his little sister this past year, but he has grown just as much! As always, I welcome (and encourage!) clients to tag themselves in images shared! .

Color or black and white? I love them both!

I have said it before, but it will always be interesting to me. Usually, my instincts are on point for the very first frame of a given subject and it's the image my client ends up choosing or - for my wildlife and landscape shots - the one I end up using. I also think perhaps my human subjects are their most authentic in that first frame, before they give much thought to particular poses and forced smiles. It's a winning combination. For this mini session, the family chose one shot of both children together, one of each child, and 2 of the entire family. For all but the family shots, they chose the very first frame I shot of the subjects. It's a little weird to me, except that It's become the norm, at the same time.

We lucked out with beautiful weather yesterday - sunny and nearly 60 degrees - before we get walloped with a foot or so of snow beginning this afternoon! Repeat clients are the absolute best. We get to develop a friendship and trust, as well as an understanding of what to expect in a session, which all serves to make the experience the best it can possibly be. I have now photographed this family perhaps more than any other - through family sessions, head shots, and dance performance photos. I am also privileged to call them my friends and my neighbors. Guys, thank you so much for the trust you place in Roots and Twigs Photography! 💚

Hey look! It's neither wildlife nor a landscape! Yes, I still photograph people, but I have had very limited availability lately. Still, keep your eyes peeled for a bigger mix of subjects in the next couple of weeks, at least, and give me a holler if you need some shots, yourself.

Afternoon Company / Backyard Wildlife Take 2
I work from home for both of my businesses. I have a great, huge window looking out to my fenced-in yard with plenty of birds and squirrels, and the occasional fox and even deer. It's dark when the raccoons come through for their late night shenanigans, so I never get photos of them. Whatever the species, though, they rarely stick around if I crack a window or door anywhere in my house to get a clear shot. Thus, I usually shoot through the glass, if at all. This afternoon, while I was cranking on an architecture project, this squirrel (and later one that chased it off) perched outside my window. I shot through two thick, dirty layers of plate glass, significantly compromising the image quality... But how cute is it, anyway, munching on a crabapple, which are plentiful on our property?

As a child, horses were my favorite animal. Nothing has changed there, but I quit riding decades ago; moved to the West; and have pursued my obsession for observing, photographing, and learning about wild horses since seeing my first in 2016. I worry greatly about the conflicts surrounding them, ranchers, BLM, roundups, and population control and hope that my work can play a role in helping protect this most beautiful icon of the American West. Moose became a passion as a young adult, with my first encounter being with a bull and 3 cows on the trail as I hiked out from camping up Death Canyon in Grand Teton National Park in 2000. Foxes are a much newer love, enjoying kits growing up in my neighborhood; adults occupying my own yard a bit; gorgeous reds in snow over winter adventures; and the rare and super-interesting silver fox I call my "Mother's Day gift" from a couple of years ago, as seeing and photographing it, with my children in tow, was truly a gift. My favorite aspects of observing wildlife are seeing and learning about their interactions with one another; variations in their colors and seasonal adaptations; and their connections to their physical world. And, as always, all animals I share on my photography sites are wild, horses included!
In full transparency, I was inspired to pull these images together to be considered for the #NatGeoMazdaContest, but I am always game for going through my wildlife images and reflecting on the adventures, hikes, and vantage points I have enjoyed to capture them. It was incredibly hard to limit my selections to 5, but I hope you enjoy them!
